Information for Youth Councils

Do you ever wish that the commission worked more cohesively? That the youth involved had the ability to not only create ideas for the improvement of their community, but the skills necessary to put those ideas into action? That your group was inspired and passionate about their work? That the commission ran with effective communication and follow-through? And most importantly, that every commissioner had the skills necessary to allow them to be the leaders that they are?

If so, CASC’s summer camp can give you and your fellow youth the skills they need to make this happen.
Through a combination of general sessions, small groups led by a CASC trained staff member, exciting workshops, structured activities, and inspirational guest speakers, you will walk away with the knowledge of leadership skills and curriculum, the passion to put those skills to use to transform their own community, and an experience you will never forget. And you will walk away with a group that better understands each other and their dynamic as a team, their own responsibility and potential to change their surroundings, and the resources and methods available to help them do so.

CASC will empower you to return from summer camp as a productive commission. From your ability to work together as a team to something as simple as the manner in which you are able to reach a consensus during meetings, you will notice the difference. Attendees learn to effectively plan projects and follow through on their completion. Summer camp is an opportunity not only to learn new skills, but also to meet people from across the state of California facing similar challenges in their own communities, providing a powerful youth leadership network and an opportunity to have a lot of fun.

CASC summer camp has transformed thousands of students throughout the state of California, and can inspire in your students the same passion to create change and the knowledge to do so. CASC’s methods have concrete results giving youth the ability to make real differences in their communities. Hear what past participants have to say.
